Straker65
has dome a stunning job on his 1/72 Airfix Supermarine Swift FR.5.
Straker65 dressed up the cockpit detail with photo etch and
scratchbuilt a pitot tube before giving his Swift the full rivet
treatment. His choice of camo and markings looks fantastic and
the weathering job pulls it all together. Enjoy his photos, I
know I sure did.

Jens Gerber
has taken on a very difficult camo scheme on his 1/48 Dragon Ju 88 G1 Nachtjδger.
I think you will agree the finished camo is very complicated and the
addition of the exhaust stains makes everything look perfect.
Beautiful work Jens.

Jens Gerber
joins us from Germany with his exceptional 1/48 Dragon Ju 88 C6 Night Hunter.
Jens finished his Ju-88 with night fighter radar and markings

building, detailing and painting is amazing. I loved seeing
this one. |

S K Loh
is here with an historic Phantom. This is his Showtime 111
from that fateful day 46 years ago. SK started used the 1/144 Academy F-4E Phantom modified to a F-4J variant.
His article is a very interesting read and his model and
in-flight diorama is the usual first class display we see from SK
Loh. Sit back and enjoy. |

Thomas
Brόckelt is here with something truly unique. This is his
1/72 Unicraft Bombengleiter made from a resin kit. This is
a glider with a bomb that would be dropped from a "mother
ship" and glide to the bomb release point. A very
interesting design that I guess falls into the Luft '46
category. Thomas always builds some very interesting models
that I love to see on ARC. |

H. Davis Gandees
is here with the first time on ARC with a very special 1/48 what-if
fighter. This is his article about
Building a Hypothetical Grumman F8F Seacat. The model is a
radar equipped float plane fighter and Davis put quite a bit of
thought into the design as you will learn when you read his
article. Welcome to ARC Davis....I love the work you did on
your Seacat.

Michael Phillips
is here in style with his stunning
1/48
Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk - Diamondback 00. Michael added an
resin cockpit (which required a fair bit of work to fit) and then
used aftermarket decals to finish his scooter as a bird from
1993. He accurately captured the weathered look for his USMC
jet. This one is a beauty, enjoy the photos.
